IBM will donate 50,000 lines of code to the Mozilla Foundation's Firefox to make the browser easier to use for people with visual and motor disabilities, CNET reports. The contribution would allow the addition of dynamic html accessibility technology to version 1.5 of Firefox, allowing web pages to be magnified, automatically narrated or navigated from a keyboard instead of a mouse. "IBM's commitment to further Firefox's capabilities and reach people who have disabilities marks an important technical advancement for Firefox," Mitchell Baker, Mozilla president, said in a statement.
